1: Chicago Rush. Rushin' to Nashville. Get it?
The Chicago Rush head
down to Nashville to play an Arena Football game. Steve
and Amy decide to do a road trip to watch them play. And
eat ribs. And do stuff. |

Part
2: Brown cars are ugly
Steve and Amy are hot on the tail of the Mattoon Police
Department. Do they pass them? Continue to drive at their
pace? Give them new color scheme suggestions? |
| |
|
| |
Part
3: "I came from a place called Paducah, KY..."
While driving through the hometown of Steven Curtis Chapman,
Steve and Amy take time to remind readers about the "No
Chain Rule" and "Fazoli's Exemption". |

4: Is it wrong to buy syrup at 12:30 a.m.?
After arriving at the home of Darren
and Christy Sumner in Franklin, TN, Darren and Steve
head out for a late night syrup run! Kroger employees
don't care. |

5: Fun with Twisted Metal: Head-On
Darren shows off his PlayStation Portable (PSP). Steve
gets fascinated by the vehicular combat series known as
Twisted
Metal. Is the PSP better than a Game Boy? |

Part
6: I see dead people
A visit to Carnton
Plantation and the Confederate
Cemetery awaken interest in the Civil War. It's kind
of hard to miss when there are still blood stains on the
floor. |

Part
7: How mellow is your mushroom?
It's a lunch stop in downtown Franklin, courtesy of the
Mellow Mushroom. It's a chain, but not found up near us.
Is it still a chain then? Oh, I can't sleep now. |

Part
8: Ye Grand Old Dump
It's a mini golf showdown between the Tanners and the
Sumners. Who will prevail in the end? Which team will
lose their ball? And who dares to touch the toxic foam? |

Part
9: Jack's is hoppin' at night
So it wouldn't be an authentic trip to Nashville if we
didn't stop off for some Jack's barbecue at Jack's Bar-B-Que!
Except that this time, the ribs weren't good. |
| |
|
| |
Part
10: Jack's: Take 2
The next day Steve and Amy have a better experience eating
at Jack's, right before the big Arena Football game at
the Gaylord Entertainment Center. Oh, and the Titans'
owner is smart. |

Part
11: Rush 45, Kats 21
Steve chose the right hat to wear, which when combined
with the outcome of the coin flip, resulted in the Chicago
Rush winning their game. Despite a crazy kid. |

Part
12: Great music at The Bluebird Cafe
Jennifer Hanson heats it up in more ways than one while
playing at the Sunday Writer's Night. The music was great,
atmosphere was cozy, and Pat the Hat was weird. |
| |
|
| |
Part
13: It's a lame fort, that's for sure
Steve and Amy tour downtown Nashville, exploring the Hatch
Show Print Shop and Fort Nashborough. The fort was pretty
lame and it had a woody, moldy, mildewy smell. |
| |
|
| |
Part
14: Walking the Shelby Street Bridge
A hot and muggy day is a great time to walk across a long
bridge by foot! But seriously, the Shelby Street Bridge
is rather attractive and provides good views. |
| |
|
| |
Part
15: Solider Field beats The Coliseum
I'm the first to admit that Chicago's recent renovation
of Solider Field is architecturally weird. But at least
they hired an architect! Because The Coliseum is ugly. |

Part
16: Fresh-brewed Root Beer
Is the root beer made at the Big River Brewery better
than Michigan's Big Buck Brewery? You'll have to read
to find out. (This is what is known as a tease!) |

|

Part
17: The Time Jumpers at The Station Inn
Steve and Amy stay an extra day in Nashville just to experience
The Time Jumpers on a Monday night? Was it worth it? You
bet it was! Western Swing rocks! |
| |
|
| |
Part
18: Driving Home
How do you spice up a long, boring drive home? You buy
yourself a plush cow at Chick-fil-A, get stuck in Nashville
rush hour traffic, and visit a sis in Indy. |
